episode one of a web-based news show centered on pocket pcs kicked off this week. the first episode features a review of the silver slider ii and the silver slider v by julie strietelmeier (the gadgeteer), an overview of pocket pc networking from russ smith (of pocketnow.com), and a top ten chart of games for the pocket pc. the episode ends with footage of philip torrone's pocket pc bluetooth experiment. the video and sound quality aren't great, but this is the first episode, and i am sure the producers are quite aware. involving webcelebs such as julie strietelmeier, russ smith, and philip torrone was a smart idea. i hear the producers are in talks with jason dunn of pocketpcthoughts.com as well. one news item i had not heard of: the silver slider v. it's not on the company's webpage, but julie demos this great new accessory. it's the new sleeve cover that comes with the 3800 series, but with a cf slot! check it out at justppc.com.

ss5(8:11am est mon jan 28 2002)just to clarify, the ss5 does not come with the 3800. it is a modified version of the cover pack which does come with it. the same person that makes the original silver slider (modified cf sleeve) makes the ss5.

not to spoil the party(10:24am est mon jan 28 2002)this “show” was just awful. the quality of the sound and video can maybe be forgiven…maybe, but the content was just as pathetic. it is poorly put together, has next to no quality content, and the “script” was just awful!! this was a complete waste of 25 minutes. i feel bad for all of you who take time to download this like i did.

a tv show for pda's is a great idea, but this was sooooooo bad, and worse than amature that i don't think that these guys (celebs aside) are going to make a half decent show this century.
